As someone who has had work done on both knees I would suggest stay away from long distance jogging or running. Look into maybe doing high intense exercises like sprints or even something like rope skipping.

If you want to get really fancy google GPP (General Physical Prepareness) and it should give you some good excercises. You can try crossfit also.

I also do bike - I find that I get a much better workout running. I realize that it is hell on the knees, which is why I am hoping I can get away with it if I have a really decent pair of shoes. So far, the Asics have been okay. I had a pair of Nike Air soles which were great, but I can not find a similar brand anywhere.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for the advice.
